Microsoft Announces New Tools for the Classroom

Microsoft is announcing updates to Office 365 Education in time for the new school year: Microsoft Classroom, School Data Sync, Microsoft Forms, OneNote ink and Learning Tools.

Features include:

Designed with feedback from teachers

Meaningful Updates - Public preview of Microsoft Classroom and School Data Sync, the GA of Office Forms and OneNote ink, among others. Using these tools, teachers can create a personalized homepage to see across classes and students, receive and provide feedback on assignments, send out quizzes, and collaborate with colleagues and students paperlessly.

Time saved – Assignments can now be “handed out” and submitted, and graded digitally, and teachers can provide 1:1 feedback directly in OneNote Class notebooks.
